Re: You know you're nursing a toddler when...

DS was nursing on my lap, holding a leprachaun doll, when suddenly he unlatched, held the doll to my nipple, and said, "num num num." Since then, I have nursed multiple Elmo dolls, Elmo slippers, a baby doll, a rabbit, an elephant, a monkey, and a lion. I did not nurse the football or other balls because, as I told him, "People and animals need mama milk. Balls do not need milk." It makes sense to me. He keeps trying, though

At one point, I had a bruise on one of my breasts. DS would point to it and say, "owie." Then, when he was nursing on the other side and wanted to go back to the side with the bruise, he just started saying, "la owie". Now, whenever he wants to switch sides, or when he wants something other than what he has (food, toys, anything), he says "la owie."

Awww!

I've had a migraine the past few days and daddy has been taking care of the kids mostly. When jack was leaving for daycare he was yelling to daddy "nurse nurse!". Like he wasn't going to school without his usual. Warmed me heart.
